WARNING
Tire pressure and wear status are very important
for the performance and safety of the motorcycle.
Be sure to check tire pressure and tire wear status
regularly.
Tire pressure
Under normal temperature, test the tire pressure by using
a tire pressure gauge, set the pressure base on the
pressure value recommended by this manual.
If the
pressure is too high or too low, it will affect ride stability,
and will cause the tire to wear.
